TMTNO - Chapter 58




Oh my god.

Shish Milan said he would tolerate seeing Dietrich, of all people?

Shish looked at me without blinking, his pupils narrower than usual, like a cat's. A slightly pouty cat.

I pressed Shish's cheek hard.

“Do you want to eat before you go?”

“Doesn’t the master have anything to say to me? You always tell me to just eat and go.”

Hey.

Where I live, asking to eat means I want to be friends with you, right?

Of course, I didn't explain it in detail.

“If you don’t like it, go.”

Shish closed his mouth tightly as if he was displeased, then hugged me tightly.

“I’m going to eat and go.”

He narrowed his eyes as he quickly responded, unlike when he had been grumbling.

"Master, what have you been doing all this time? You won't even look at me anymore?"

Is that so?

“Without even a blink of an eye.”

Shish's fingers pressed hard on my cheek.

“But still, eating is cute like a squirrel.”

...Am I a species that cannot be pretty to you?

“So you don’t like it?”

"No."

Shish, our noses met, just like before. Then we rubbed slightly.

Then he stepped back for a moment to observe my reaction.

Red alert, shouldn't you be sounding it?

Is my heart still beating right now?

The sharp nose touched the tip of my nose again. I felt a slight crushing sensation, and then the sharp tip began to tickle my nose up and down.

Oh my god.

I don't think I'd be surprised if I fainted like this.

The sweet scent of Shish mixed with the gorgeous scent of roses, leaving me confused.

I don't think I'd notice if I got caught and eaten like this.

“Master.”

"Yes."

It was a shame that Shish had to cut off his nose.

“Do you want to go with me?”

"No."

“Why?”

The small head tilted to the side. Red hair flowed down, and the slightly upturned eyes were quite ominous.

This is knowing what angle and what expression to make to look good.

I jumped up.

“Hohohoho! Let’s go get a snack!”

“You almost fell on my face just now, didn’t you?”

Shish, who was standing behind me, laughed as he followed me closely.

"No."

“No, haha, judging by the way you’re laughing, it’s true. Master, you laugh like that when you’re embarrassed.”

How does this kid remember all this stuff?

Even though I muttered that I should pretend not to know about such things, I couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation rising in my heart.

You remembered everything about me.

As I remember you.

Shish's nervous and sharp mood had considerably softened in just a few days.

It was amazing.

It's amazing how much I can change someone's life.

The problem was that I was so flustered by this sight that I forgot I had come out the window and went in through the door.

“Oh my, His Highness told me not to leave the building.”

“Don’t worry, they’re my servants.”

The senior brought the maid and confidently said, 'These people are tight-lipped, so don't worry about your existence being exposed.'

Were you a Shish person?

“The Crown Prince may be absolutely convinced he has loyal followers.”

A smile appeared on his thin lips.

This isn't surprising anymore.

It was only when I entered the room that I remembered the existence of the book on the table.

That book would be difficult for Shish to read.

“But why aren’t you going? Are you free?”

“I am a capable minister, so I can finish the work quickly.”

That's so true, I have nothing to say.

“Do you want me to go quickly, Master?”

Yeah, I wish you could do that now.

But I sat on the bed because it would definitely sound weird if I said it like that.

“Come here.”

As expected, Shish's eyes widened as I tapped the side. Then he pretended to shake off my disheveled dress with his hand and lifted it.

“Shish, no.”

"Why?"

Just a moment ago, I thought the nervous atmosphere had eased up, but the tone was surprisingly fierce.

“Because of His Highness the Crown Prince?”

My senior and I aren't that kind of relationship.

“Or is it because of the woman you mentioned before, the one who is my destined partner?”

Oh, you seem like a guy with a useless memory.

I take back what I said about you remembering me.

“First of all, Shish, the Crown Prince and I are not in a relationship like you think.”

“Do you know what I'm guessing?”

As I looked at his slightly twisted lips, a sense of crisis suddenly came over me.

I've lost touch with reality!

The other person is the mastermind, the prime minister? Aren't you being too lax?

“Are you dating?”

I gave a seemingly safe answer, but the other person didn't budge.

“Are you seeing each other seriously?”

“...”

“While you were sleeping?”

Even though I blurted out harsh words, the other person remained silent.

What the heck, I think I lost my senses.

Surely he won't hang himself on my neck?

As I was quietly looking around, my red lips finally opened.

“That's all.”

“...”

"I've imagined every possible relationship, beyond what the Master mentioned. And if even one of them is true, I'll kill him."

“Not all of them!”

I shook my head desperately. Look into my eyes, my true eyes!

“But why aren’t you going with me?”

Shish's eyes crinkled.

Waeeeeeeee. Waeeeeee.

The alarm starts making a strange noise.

“You hate me?”

I was about to answer, “No,” but Shish quickly covered my mouth.

“No, don’t say it.”

When I squint, his eyes crinkle.

“Don’t talk!”

Shouting loudly, Shish jumped to his feet and ran to the door. He was leaving the room as I'd hoped, but I couldn't.

“Shish, come here.”

It's not that I'm afraid he'll misunderstand and kill my senior.

I hated that he misunderstood my relationship with my senior and that he mistakenly thought I hated him.

“Come here.”

I lightly tapped the spot where Shish had been sitting a moment ago with my palm. Shish turned halfway to watch me.

“Come here and sit down.”

Shish, his face distorted, gasped for breath and eventually came and sat down next to me.

“Well done.”

As I stroked his fine hair, Shish's eyelashes began to flutter. His earlobes also turned red. Anyone could tell he was pleased.

Shish, who had wrapped his arms around my waist, gave me strength, and we fell backwards. I continued to stroke his red hair.

Shish, who buried his face in my arms, spoke childishly.

“You’re being so affectionate, but why don’t you listen to my request to stay by your side?”

That's because you're dangerous.

“Come with me. Yes?”

Shish raised his face slightly, his eyes moistened, and he groaned.

“Come with me, master.”

As I stood there, unable to breathe, Shish made a pitiful expression.

“Because my master is gone, I can’t sleep, I can’t eat...”

Very slowly, as if to feel every single sensation without missing a single one.

Sweep across the chest, across the collarbone, up the neck, past the jawline, and to the ears.

“It’s too painful. So come with me.”

The face of the mad minister looking down at me was more sorrowful and beautiful than ever.

Oh my god.

Is my heart beating properly right now?

***

Shish didn't come for a while, wondering if it was true that my senior had abandoned his work.

In the meantime, I finished reading the book my senior gave me and put it in a drawer.

“There was someone else from outside in this world besides me.”

I vaguely thought it might be like that, but it was shocking to see it for myself.

My senior said that if he didn't win my heart, he'd disappear. He said that even before that, he'd already begun to change, like someone out of a book.

The proof is that his unrealistic good looks have diminished, and he can't get through the door.

My senior is truly exceptional. His looks and intellect are beyond the ordinary.

So the hypothesis I came up with was, 'The world outside the book erases these people.'

I'm talking about beings from another world who have an excessive influence on their surroundings due to their originally outstanding abilities.

To survive, I needed to be recognized by those outside my circle, but the abilities I once possessed seemed to be fading, just like my senior's appearance had faded.

“And this person, it seems like the ending wasn’t good.”

The author of the book wrote this story in the last chapter.

- Never take people from other worlds into your heart.

The ending is that you can't be happy.

“Well, even the Little Mermaid turned into bubbles.”

The bitter ending left my mouth bitter. I stared at the floor for a moment, then clenched my fists.

“When you’re feeling depressed, taking a walk is the best!”

When did I start liking walking?

Our lives are unpredictable.

I was wearing a simple outfit that Shish had insisted on. It was ankle-length, but the simple decoration allowed for much more movement than my usual dress.

“Hmm, I guess it’s dangerous inside the palace because there are so many people.”

No, there's no place more dangerous than that damn monastery.

Thinking of the brother priest, my confidence soared, and I decided to make a bold escape. Being confined in one place was frustrating.

I was good at hiding, so 8 could move around without running into anyone.

I was thinking of going back, but a loud shout caught my ear.

“Yay!”

"Yap!"

There must be a martial arts gym nearby.

It's the Imperial Knights!

I flinched at the sight of uniformed knights passing by, and I leaned against the overgrown grass. I looked around, but there was no one there.

Good!

I hid myself among the thick grass and looked inside.

“Hurray!”

Knights were seen training in groups or sparring in pairs.

Apart from considering this place as a whole world, seeing the things I had imagined before my eyes gave me a great sense of joy.

Well, I guess it was a good decision to come back.

I was so absorbed that I didn't even notice who was standing behind me.

Even if you weren't engrossed, you wouldn't have known that the other person was the other person.

Someone grabbed my shoulder, and only then did I realize that it was someone else, and I jumped up.

“I wasn’t secretly watching, but there are some handsome knights! Hehe!”

I started to hiccup as I saw the face of the large man standing in front of me.

"...Author?"

Oh, I'm screwed.
